Fed up with today's world. Lived in Asia & Mid-East. Learnt about equity & justice along the way. Believe capitalist & autocrats deserve Hell. Neoliberalism is evil. Miss the social-democracy of the 60s & 70s, not that it existed unless you were white.

Minns, Malinauskas, Crisafulli & Albo will you work with the ICC, the Hind Rajab Foundn & the APAN to arrest, try & jail the Austn Zionists who've committed genocide?
You want social cohesion?

This is not 'social cohesion' – it's just a tighter net to trap us all Australians have been lectured a lot on social cohesion, but it reached a fever pitch after protests against the visit by Israel’s president.

Criticism of Israel isn't inherently antisemetic, yet Aust’s leaders claim that raising Israel's genocide when the head of state is visiting is hateful while accosting worshippers & terrorising protestors isn't.
Social cohesion? They're joking!
